Description
Things get lively when Tulip 'Dee Jay Parrot' joins the party! This fun and funky parrot tulip steps on the scene when the tulip season in in full swing, displaying a fabulous outfit of feather-like petals in red and gold. When it’s in full bloom, this colourful character brings summer vibes with its exotic appeal. You can expect excitement in March and April as these large flowers slowly unfurl from their curiously curled up buds, gradually developing their colours. After all that the anticipation, Tulip 'Dee Jay Parrot' doesn’t disappoint when it finally reaches its moment in the spotlight, fully opening into a real firecracker of a flower!
If your colour scheme is on the hot-side of the spectrum or a bright boho mix, Tulip 'Dee Jay Parrot' would love to be a part of that. It can also be mellow in a more toned down planting scheme with purples and blues. Plant them in groups or drifts so they can make a bold statement, either in borders or patio containers. They also work well when dotted around as spotlight plants in a completely mixed bulb planting scheme with contrasting tulip varieties and daffodils. Cut flower growers can enjoy long lasting, large, high-impact blooms from Tulip 'Dee Jay Parrot' as well as strong, sturdy stems.
